‘Financial hazing’ of new journalism hires ultimately hurts all of us

April 14, 2022 by Jackie Spinner

A journalism student about to graduate and enter the job market recently shared on social media that she was nervous about the low-pay for her first job, wages that would be less than working at a big box retailer or at a restaurant. One of the veteran journalists in the social media group where she posted responded almost predictably with the same advice I was given decades … [Read more...] about ‘Financial hazing’ of new journalism hires ultimately hurts all of us

‘Can you provide a definition of the word woman?’

From afar, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson’s attempt to prosecute a St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter looks like the folly of a vindictive politician who doesn’t understand computers or the First Amendment. But it is more serious than that. A governor trying to prosecute a journalist for reporting publicly available information poses a serious threat to press freedom. It’s … [Read more...] about Missouri Gov. Mike Parson’s unconstitutional attack on the press
